Organization Introduction and Our Message

Hi, I am Ryuichi Yoshimoto, a representative of Itoshima Institute for Renewable Energy and Electric Power (IREEP). IREEP is an organization doing various projects and activities in order to
spread renewable energy all over the world starting from here in Japan. We would like to develop the society where we, all the people in the world, can enjoy our life feeling at ease with smiles
for a long period of time ― that is why I started this project.

In Japan, penetration rate of renewable energy is only a few percent. On the other hand, there are some countries that have already achieved very high penetration rate of renewable energy. In
Denmark, for example, renewable energy currently covers 42% of its energy needs. And moreover, they have set a national goal of 100% coverage with renewable energy by 2050.

I believe we can achieve the same goal if we make up our mind to do it. Among various projects and activities, IREEP has two main projects: First, we will set up a “citizen-owned power plant.” A power plant that is set up by gathering small contribution from private citizens like you and me could be a major boost to spread
renewable energy. Secondly, we will develop a “100% renewable energy town.” We will work on this project here in Itoshima City, Fukuoka prefecture.

We will share all of our activities, know-how, processes and stories with you on the internet and other media. I hope our activities become a bit of push for any other communities and people to
try to work on the same project.

Our project has just begun. We still need your supports and assistances at the moment. You can see our activities details and what kind of support we are calling for on the website. I would
be grateful if you could have a look at it. Thank you very much.
